CoolSculpting treatment and careful applicator placement
Every patient is different and the applicators may need to be a different size on you than the next individual.

Positioning of Patient During Coolsculpting.

Coolsculpting of thighs and arms
The thighs and arms are off label treatment with Coolsculpting. That being said, the best position to be in is the position that facilitates the best attachment of the Coolsculpting handle so that it does not dislodge and at the same time most comfortable for the patient.

Coolsculpting can work for the inner thighs and arms
Especially if the device is small enough for the area and can suction appropriately. We often have inner thighs treated with the patient in a frog leg position. Upper arms are usually done with the patient on their side. Whichever way works easiest to be comfortable for you and maintain the suction on the device is best. Best to you, Dr. Jacob

When having coolsculpting does position of arm and legs effect suctioning
The coolsculpting handpiece does rely on the degree of skin "available" or what is able to be suctioned in order to treat the ideal area.
Depending on your particular body type and which body area you are treating, if your arms or legs extended do pull the area, that can lessen what is available to suction into the handpiece. This is why it is ideal to be treated by a physician with a great deal of experience with the treatment as they will have appreciated these fine details
